The challenges and solutions are not purely technical in nature, but rather fit into a larger socio-economic puzzle, to which all of us are invited to contribute.
I’d call this an understatment. Arguably, the technical aspect is the smallest and simplest part of decentralization. The social aspect is considerably larger.
Indeed, discoverability was always the problem. Discovering interesting people creating content that interested you. Let alone discovering people you actually know in real life (tm). I saw an old “internet yellow pages” at a used book store last year (from 1998 iirc). The social aspect is the hard part.
In this light, I don’t really have a lot of faith “owning you’re data” ie solid is the solution. The present article is a good overview though.
